Expert Tips

As a general rule, marinate fish fillets, seafood and vegetables about 30 minutes, pork chops and chicken at least 1 hour and larger meat cuts up to 24 hours. Turn the food once or twice during marinating time, so the marinade can reach all surfaces.

To use the leftover marinade as a sauce, boil it 1 minute to destroy any bacteria that may have been transferred back and forth when the marinade was brushed on the uncooked meat.

This is a very simple and delicious marinade. I sometimes add honey to the marinade to sweeten it up a bit and I always make extra to have on the side. It's just so good!

I made this for my family for dinner tonight. They loved it !. I too fixed it on a George Foreman grill that I'd gotten for Christmas. This turned out great !. We will definitely be having this again !.
